Dear Darlings,
I am all rabid with enthusiasm for this tale, Indian Uprising, by Donald Barthelme. I think it might just say it all. If you have had the pleasure of reading it, black marks on white paper, I rejoice with you. If you are one of the ones with less patience, with less bookshelves, with whatever it is you have instead of time to read, please enjoy an auditory reading of it, here. There is an introduction, which, if you have a shred of sense, you will skip, by starting at 4 minutes and 18 seconds.
There is much superfluous closing material, also, after the story ends- remarks between the interviewer and the reader, Chris Adrian. Which, given your hurried day, your busy life, you should also skip. On the other hand, you may itch for explication, and then, you will open that Pandora's box, and your own definitions, your own precious meanings, will fly off, never to be heard from again. And so, you are forewarned.
In accord, in solidarity, may we nonevaluate everything, always.
